Chapter 13: I'm a Fairy Tail Wizard

(Que Fairy Tail OP)

"Sky Demon's Gashing Horn."

"Fire Demon's Killer Fist."

Hellfire and hellwinds raged about the chamber. Their clashing elements set off an explosion that could be seen from the guild. Lucy anchored her feet in the ground, and the two demons charged down each other. They exchanged fists at the exact same time striking their jaws. The shock from their punches made a crater at their feet. However, Siri endured the pain with a smile and put a little more force in her punch, sending Lucy tumbling off the ground.

"Gra-vi-ty - work - with - me." said Lucy with each tumble till she stopped into a wall, "Thank you, wall."

Lucy felt a bit of relief seeing blood flowing down Siri's mouth and forehead along with the bruises that were purple just above her brow. Yet, Siri still smiled and lurched her head up like a maniac.

"Oh yes, yes." cried Siri, "This is what I've been looking for. C'mon, give me more pain. Fight me. Kill me!"

"You asked for it." barked Lucy. She jumped with a flying knee to Siri' face, and she was sent flying into the wall. Lucy chased and pinned Siri to the wall. After banging her a few times on the wall, Lucy punched her jaw with a flaming fist and prepared to kick her through the wall. Siri broke Lucy's hold and headbutted Lucy. Her vision was dazed, and Siri was a bright blur to her.

"Sky Demon's Rage."

Lucy was blasted point-blank in ripping hellwinds that ravaged her body. As she crashed into the staircase, Lucy found her arms badly bruised. She barely had enough time to get out of the way by jumping off her feet. Siri came out of the dust cloud and got Lucy in the gut, making lose the wind in her.

"Running out of steam?" said Siri.

Once Lucy got her breath back, she cupped her hands together and hammered Siri back to the ground. Lucy followed up rocketing down upon the Sky Demon Slayer with devastating impact. Lucy picked Siri up and landed a few blows to her head. After a fourth hit, Siri suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Gotcha." said Siri. Lucy was trapped at close-range with Lucy, and couldn't block a fast-flying blow to her face. Lucy played at Siri's game and they traded blows with increasing vigor. Siri laughed the entire time, despite the many blows Lucy dealt.

'What the-' thought Lucy, 'How is she this strong?!'

"Your pissing me off!" growled Lucy, fire in her mouth, "Fire Demon's Rage."

Lucy breathed hellfire point-blank and Siri disappeared in the golden flames. However, a hand reached through the flames and smashed Lucy to the ground. Siri hadn't received any damage whatsoever.

"Good, squirm a bit more." said Siri in pleasure.

"Fire Demon's Kick."

Lucy knocked Siri back with a kick and pushed her further back with a fire fist. Finally, Lucy surged hellfire in her hands and smacked them together.

"Fire Demon's Scorching Blastshell."

Lucy fired the ball of hellish flames at Siri and the whole room rose in high temperatures. The floor was black with ash from the blast. Lucy panted, winded from the whole fight and the damage she received.

"Sky Demon's Brilliant Winds."

Lucy didn't have time to gasp as a sphere of hellwinds akin to Natsu's Brilliant Flame exploded on contact with Lucy. She coughed out blood as the winds slashed at her skin like knives. When Lucy came to on the floor, she was in shock that all of Siri's injuries were gone and only her clothes were in tatters.

"Surprise." said Siri.

'What the fuck!?' thought Lucy, 'I have no choice. Demonforce it is.'

Lucy charged the flames around her till she was surrounded in an inferno. She was so close, but suddenly Lucy only managed to cramp out her body as though she was on a vehicle.

"I'm out of magic!?" exclaimed Lucy, "How is that possible?!"

"He-he-he." snickered Siri, "I guess I can tell you my little secret since you've given me so much fun. My hellwinds are deadly compared to any other type of wind magic. Whatever my winds touch, they drain your magic and stamina and use it to replenish my own magic and wounds. That's how I got the drop on your little imp for a master. Sorry, to say, but no matter how strong you are, you can't beat me."

The second Lucy tried to get up, Siri rushed in a blur delivering hard-hitting blows to the gut, sides, and chin without mercy. More blood coughed out of Lucy as she was sent to a wall, gagging for air from the pain.

"I have to say." said Siri, licking her lips, "Your magic tastes delicious. After I'm done with you, I'm going to get your dragon boyfriend and take my time draining you both dry."

Rage filled Lucy and boiled her blood. She got to her feet, golden flames only simmering around her.

"NO!" screamed Lucy, "YOU WON'T EVER TOU-"

Suddenly, Siri jumped to the side and kicked with all her might into Lucy's left arm. There was a loud crack as the bones in her arm broke and her shoulder dislocated. Lucy let out a squeal as her arm went limp. Siri jumped back and relished watching Lucy in shock and agony. She clutched her limp arm and kneeled to the ground.

At the top of her lungs, Lucy shouted, "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"


Natsu was facing off with Gajeel, going at speeds beyond the human eye. He would've been dead if Cynthia didn't manage to set off some fire with her new spirit. And all those thugs were getting their deserved deserts for calling her short. The fire breather held the advantage of speed and power against Gajeel in the fight, even when the iron dragon had some iron himself. However, Natsu paused hearing Lucy's cries of agony with his acute hearing. Once he made ground, Natsu was already rushing to save Lucy.

"Lucy!" cried Natsu, "I'll get to you."

"Not so fast, Salamander."

Natsu was slammed to the ground by a club of iron. He looked back and bit his lip. Gajeel knew what was happening to Lucy, and he wasn't about to save the Fire Demon Slayer yet.

"You're not going anywhere." said Gajeel, "You're little bitch is going to suffer and you can't do anything about it."

"Don't you dare call Lucy that!" roared Natsu, flying forward with an Iron Fist to Gajeel's jaw. He wouldn't be able to get passed Gajeel without taking him down first. Then Natsu would run as fast as possible to save Lucy. The Lucy he invited to live in his home. The Lucy who breathed fire like he did. The Lucy that he managed to make a smile on her face.

"I'm not gonna let you get between me and Lucy." roared Natsu, smacking Gajeel down with wings of fire into a tower, "You hear me!? I'll obliterate you!"


"-WAAAAAAAUUUUUUGH!" screamed Lucy in pain.

"Wow." said Siri, "The lungs you have on you."

Siri kicked Lucy and pinned her down flat on the ground. Lucy could only look at Siri with an expression of pure wrath, but the pain in her arm prevented Lucy from doing anything.

"Tell me." said Siri, "Who has two broken arms and is a total bitch?"

"You stupid bitch." said Lucy but stopped herself before she continued on with her next choice of words. Siri's foot raised above Lucy's right shoulder ready to crush it. It bulged a vein on Lucy's forehead being so useless. As Siri stomped down her foot, Lucy winced away. The pain never came, but the sound of a kick to the face caught Lucy's attention. Her eyes widened seeing Erza Scarlet standing above her instead of Siri. She was back to her usual self and didn't show any sign of fatigue, but Lucy knew better.

"What are you doing here!?" groaned Lucy, trying to get on her feet and practically smelling the strain Erza was putting herself through, "You're still injured. Out of all the people, I don't want you to stoop to Natsu's stupidity."

Erza didn't smile but nodded her head. "You don't look so good yourself, Lucy. But you did good. Let me fight for you."

"Bite me." snapped Lucy, but she smiled, "Go get her then. For Master Makarov."

Siri picked herself off and wiped her cheek where Erza's iron boot made a cut in her cheek. Instead of twitching with rage, Siri smiled menacingly and licked her own blood.

"Erza Scarlet." said Siri, "How unfortunate for the great Titannia. I'm in a gluttonous mood after tasting Salamander's and Lucy's magic. I'm drooling to taste yours."

"Aren't you a sky-style slayer?" said Erza, "Why don't you just consume the air?"

"Think of the air as soup really." explained Siri, "All your magic adds the perfect pinch of flavor that makes me drain you dry. Just like I did with that old geezer. He had a wonderful aged flavor."

"Our master suffered greatly by your hands." stated Erza, "I will avenge him."

"You tell her." said Lucy.

"It's too bad you are not a slayer." said Siri, moving her hands in a circular motion, "But I've heard so much about your power, I'll take it all in one gulp."

The space around became a vortex of hellwinds. Lucy could feel the vile nature in the air itself, like the very winds would pick at your skin to consume it. The two disappeared behind the veil of hellwinds, but Lucy could see Siri's demon eyes glow here.

"Go on." bellowed Siri, "Step in this space of death. They are the winds that blow in the depths of hell, and eat at the souls of the sinners to cause unimaginable pain. Just one little kiss from the winds and your very life will be consumed."

"A spell that consumes life?!" barked Erza, requipping a sword finely sharpened, "Tell me, how can you do this? How can you take lives so easily?!"

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha." laughed Siri, "Because humans are nothing but cattle. Their souls fuel us demons and evolve us to greater heights. But if you think I'm bad, I'm only following suit. Look no further than Lucy herself. She has killed more than I could ever dream, and has consumed the souls of dark guilds not for justice, but pleasure. Compared to her, I'm a fucking saint."

Lucy felt like her world was shattered. Erza, who stood for justice and friends, looked back to Lucy with disbelief. Lucy could tell what thoughts ran through Erza's head, mainly how could one of her closest friends be even worse than Siri.

Erza tightened her grip on her sword and charged after Siri. Hellwinds whipped around Erza ready to consume her. As the winds consumed her away, Siri's smile widened with pleasure. Yet, a familiar war cry surfaced through the roar of the winds as Erza cut her way forward. For once in this entire fight, Siri showed fear.

"What the fuck!?" exclaimed Siri, "How!? How is a human cutting my hellwinds?!"

In frustration, Siri increased the pressure of the air space and the hellwinds became more dense. "DIE, DIE, DIE! I cannot be defeated. My power is greater. Greater than even your pathetic imp of a master."

Erza jumped into the air and requipped into Purgatory Armor. She prepared a swing to the side with a giant iron hammer that already had Siri in its reach.

"You're done for!" roared Erza as she swung the hammer with all of her might. Siri was bashed into her entire side by the hammer and was sent flying through the wall and into the distance for from the battle. Erza landed gracefully on her feet, and requipped back to her regular armor.

"Someone like you," said Erza, "will never hold a candle to our master's power."

With Siri down, the Abyss Break spell was canceled. That left only two threats left till the war could end: Gajeel and Master Jose. Lucy was fully confident that Natsu was taking care of the Iron Dragon Slayer, but Jose was a different story altogether.

Suddenly, Erza's legs gave out and she fell to the floor. Lucy summoned all the strength she had to move, and managed to catch Erza in her one working arm. At this point, the pain in her left arm was numbing away. Lucy looked down, and suddenly was taken by surprise the many bruises Erza held from her injuries holding back the Jupiter Cannon. Tears swelled in Lucy's eyes.

"You goddamn idiot." cried Lucy, "You should've stayed put."

To Lucy's surprise, Erza started to chuckle if painfully. There was no use yelling at Erza, so Lucy dragged them both against a wall to somehow get some rest.

"I hate it," said Erza, "whenever someone sees me in this state. But I guess I can make an exception with you, Lucy."

"You and me both." agreed Lucy, "Erza, about what Siri-"

"It doesn't matter." stated Erza with a smile, "As far as I know, you've made a change the moment you joined Fairy Tail. I'm proud of you."

Soon, Gray, Elfman, and Mira arrived on the scene and ran to their aid.

"Lucy!" Mira cried, "Erza, what the heck are you doing here?!"

"Here comes the party." said Lucy as Mira tended to her broken arm.

"Man," said Elfman, looking around, "something big went down here."

"You can thank Siri for that." said Lucy, "Erza saved my behind and took her out in one hit."

"You defeated the strongest of the Element Four with just one blow!?" exclaimed Elfman, "You are scary even to a man like me."

Suddenly, they could feel a cold, dark presence press down on them. It even sent chills through Gray. Lucy knew the feeling all too well as she herself once gave off this aura. It was the air of death. A slow clap caught their attention, and they were face-to-face with the Master Jose of Phantom Lord.

"Bravo." said Jose, "You are all quite keen to make this far, Fairy Tail wizards. You're more entertaining than I thought."

"Master Jose!" gasped Erza.

'The creep with the lipstick is Phantom Lord's master!?' thought Lucy.

Elfman and Gray prepared to fight the master who's aura hanged with death. Erza tried to get on her feet, sensing her friends were in danger, and Lucy tried to hold her back.

"Don't do it." cried Erza.

"Stay back!" cried Lucy.

Elfman and Gray jumped into the air with their magic ready to strike. Jose casted a black magic circle and fired a rain of black magic from it that put them out of commission. With a wave of his hand, Jose sent Gray, Elfman, and Mira flying, but Erza and Lucy stayed their ground. Lucy's broken arm forced her down, but Erza charged through Jose's storm of magic and requipped into Black Wing Armor. She was able to get in close-range, but Jose easily dodged her attacks. He grabbed Erza's arm and tossed her aside like a rag doll. Erza landed on her feet.

"Fascinating." said Jose, "You took a shot from Jupiter and yet you're still standing."

"It's because those like Lucy are counting on me." cried Erza, "They fill my heart with strength. I will withstand any physical pain to protect the one's I love."

Lucy bit her lip seeing the creepy smile cross Jose's face. She watched with anguish as Erza gave it all she got but she couldn't land a single hit, while a single touch from Jose sent her flying. Jose started going on about killing them to put Master Makarov into a deep despair, then killing him after torturing him. He was no better than some dark guild's master, it was sickening how he could legally operate. Despite their job to retrieve Lucy to her late father, it was all a petty reason to prove he was the best.

Jose wrapped Erza in dark magic and squeezed to cause her pain. It pained Lucy to see Erza like this. She had to move.

"It infuriates me," said Jose, "that one of the wealthiest family heirs is in Fairy Tail. So Makarov is trying to buy his way to the top, isn't he?"

Despite the pain, Erza broke an amused smile. "I'm so amused how incredibly misinformed you are about Lucy. She doesn't have access to her family's fortune because she said herself that her father's been dead for over five years. She's been on her own for three years, trying to right a wrong in her life by weeding out the evil in this world. Her actions may have been awful, but I know Lucy has a good heart. She came to Fairy Tail to further her quest to do away with the evils in this world. She laughs with. She cries with us. Because Lucy is a proud member of our guild. You - don't know anything about Lucy and the pain and tears she has suffered through all those years."

Erza's speech gave Lucy strength to get on her feet. A tear dripped down her cheek, and her demon skin grew yet again.

Jose smiled. "Hah. I don't give a damn. Whoever wants Lucy so bad, I'll make her a prisoner here and bleed this employer dry of his money. As for you, I'm going to string you up before your guild to make them surrender."

Then, Lucy could see it in Erza's eyes. She would rather die than be made a pawn in Jose's scheme. Her sword levitated at her will and aimed for Erza to impale her. To kill herself. Lucy couldn't let that happen. Her feet rocketed with golden fire and she sprang into the fray.

"Fire Demon's Rage."

The hellfire dissipated Jose's magic and released Erza who was at her limit. Lucy caught her in her one working arm and brought her a safe distance away. Jose only watched with curiosity.

"Lucy," mumbled Erza, "why are-"

Lucy stopped her right there by slapping Erza across her face. She grabbed the redhead by the collar with eyes burning with fury and disgust.

"What the fuck are you doing!?" Lucy shouted, "After all this, your just going to give up like that. I don't care if the odds seem impossible. I don't care if I'm a mangled mess. I'll still keep fighting because that's what we do. We see this through to the very end. If you want to protect something, you don't die. You just don't let them die. That's what Master Makarov would've wanted us to do."

Erza was in disbelief that Lucy was giving her this talk instead of the other way around.

"I'm stupid." said Erza with a smile, "I know, Lucy, you're a finer wizard then I'll ever be. You have power, but also heart and bravery. You and Natsu both, I know full well you'll surpass me."

With the last of her magic, Erza summoned the Flame Empress sword and lit it on fire. It was the manifestation of all the magic Erza had left.

"Show me, Lucy." said Erza, "Show me you are a greater wizard than I. Show me and save Fairy Tail."

Lucy leaned closer and ate the red flames of the sword till it was drained dry. With new strength flowing through Lucy, she got to her feet no problem. A torrid heat hanged in the air overwhelming the sense of death Jose had. Fire brimmed around Lucy's body till it exploded in the form of a demon with its wings spread out.

"RAAAAAAAUUUGH!" roared Lucy as a blinding yellow light filled the room and even reached the outside. The guild members that fought outside could feel the amazing heat and pressure from the light that was emitted. Even Jose couldn't stand unfazed from the light.

(Que "Dragonforce")

As the light dimmed down, it revealed Lucy in Demonforce. Her eyes were dark with pink pupils staring down at Jose. This time, wings of golden fire unfolded on Lucy's back and Erza lied on the ground with a smile.

'I leave the rest to you.' thought Erza before blacking out.

Jose smiled. "So this is the power you used in Clover. Tell me, how are you supposed to defeat me with that broken arm of yours?"

"I don't need," said Lucy, igniting her right fist in golden fire, " both arms to beat you. It's because of one reason and one reason only. I'm a Fairy Tail wizard!"

"What utter nonsense!" bellowed Jose, firing a rain of dark magic. Lucy stood there perfectly composed and deflected them away with one arm.

"You've hurt my friends." said Lucy, the fires around her growing more intense, "You've attacked our guild hall. And you've put innocent lives in danger. I'm not gonna defeat you. I'm going to obliterate you along with this entire disgrace of a guild."

Jose only managed to gasp as Lucy blinked the distance between them and landed a flaming knee to his face. His nose broke and bled, and he vanished away. Lucy was already behind him.

"Fire Demon's Kick."

Lucy kicked Jose aside and followed up with a hammering arm to the ground. Jose's eyes turned black, a sign he wasn't holding back any longer. Dark magic circles littered the air and rained down a hail of destruction. Lucy was a blur of motion as she dodged every single one.

"Fire Demon's Rage."

Lucy let out an inferno that eliminated everything in her path in an instant. Jose protected himself with a barrier, and his face contorted with fury.

"How ludicrous." cursed Jose, "How utterly ridiculous. Me, defeated by a lowly fairy?! Absurd. Impossible!"

Gray, Elfman, and Mira came to and were in awe of Lucy's power.

"Is she beating Jose?!" exclaimed Gray.

"Amazing." Mira said.

Lucy glanced to her comrades. "Get Erza out of here right now."

They didn't even hesitate. Elfman carried the unconscious Erza and they ran out as fast as they can. Lucy and Jose's powers were shaking the very guild hall around them, and little pebbles levitated in their auras.

"That is it!" cried Jose, gathering all of his magic, "I'm going to completely annihilate you all if it's the last thing I do."

Jose was drawing the same magic circle the giant robot was doing earlier. In response, Lucy whipped out one of her most powerful spells and concentrated it in her right hand. A bright yellow flame danced in that hand as bright as the sun.

"Abyss Break."

"Fire Demon's Secret Art: Blazed Glory: Red Zeroth Blade."

The two spells collided with each other in the middle of the chamber. Everything around them turned to dust as they continued their contest of power, splitting the giant robot in two. Lucy wasn't about to give up ever, and put more power into her attack so much that her very arm actually started to burn. The Abyss Break literally burned away in the wake of the hellfire, and Jose screamed in agony as he was consumed in the flames.

The room was blinded by the light of the flames, but soon dimmed down to reveal the chamber split in two and covered in soot. Jose was on the other side, gagging for air and burned all over. Lucy panted, and her whole body ached in pain more than her cramps. Both her arms were made useless as her right arm was burned to the elbow. Yet, Lucy smiled. She could tell the fighting stopped and her guild cheered in victory. She allowed her body to give out, and her vision went black. Her knees buckles and Lucy would've fallen over the edge.

"I got you." cried Cynthia as the tiny girl caught Lucy by her green cloak. She herself would've joined Lucy in the plunge if Natsu and Master Makarov weren't on the scene to help. Natsu held Lucy tenderly in his arms, smiling seeing the same smile on Lucy's face. Master Makarov nodded in elation seeing how his children were able to win this war.

'Lucy Heartfilia,' thought Makarov, 'I'm proud to call you a Fairy Tail wizard.'

Natsu carried Lucy with an arm under her knees and the other holding her neck. Her heat resonated with his own like two halves that called to each other. He pressed his forehead against Lucy's and imagined what dreams might be going through her head. Dreams that he hoped he was in.
